Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

"Ah...? Mm."

This is a great opportunity, a great opportunity to atone for one's sins.

Since Rhodes made the request, there must be an opportunity.

Rhodes, who was becoming increasingly cunning, smiled and said:

"Okay then. You'll get one point for every request I make. You have to do whatever I ask you to do."

"Once you reach 1,000 points, I might consider forgiving you."

"From now on, killing Cangwen is my first request."

Lilith's fingertips trembled, and her face froze.

ha?

One thousand points?

One point per task?

Even if she makes one request a day, it will take her three years to get Rhodes to forgive her.

The Dragon God would have died countless times in that amount of time.

Moreover, the last sentence even included "considering" forgiveness.

She understood that Rhodes was using her as a tool, and was basically toying with her like a dog!

For no apparent reason, a feeling of stifled irritation and irritation arose in my mind. It was truly indescribable that I felt completely treated like a dog.

But she also understood that, in her current despicable state, if she wanted Rhodes to truly understand the truth, to understand that she genuinely loved him—

So she had no choice but to obey orders.

She had never felt so stifled and wronged, and she would never be the kind of person who needed to beg and plead with others.

But now, she has truly become one, and she absolutely cannot refuse...

She didn't want her feelings to be extinguished by mistakes, and she was determined to make Rhodes change his mind. Therefore, these thousand tasks, while a stifling life as a servant, were also her chance for redemption.

and……

And it's so strange.

Why did my breathing become faster after being given the order by Rhodes?

A strange sense of submission welled up inside me at that moment...

But soon, this feeling was torn apart by the anger buried deep in his heart, and he viciously hurled it at the Plague Demoness.

Plague Witch, you've come knocking on my door...

They just had to stir up trouble when she was at her lowest point.

“Alright.” Lilith stood up, and the blue starlight emanating from her body, which resembled a weapon, began to scatter. “No matter how many requests you make, I can fulfill them.”

Rhodes was slightly taken aback.

He was somewhat impressed by Lilith's ability to endure humiliation, but he didn't care at all:

"Really? Then good luck."

After saying that, he took a few steps back, leaving the space in front of him to Lilith, and went to the window by himself.

At that very moment, Cang Wen's expression changed slightly.

"Upgraded four times? How is that possible..."

When she vaguely sensed the terrifying power flowing out of Lilith's body, she immediately realized that something terrible was about to happen.

“Cangwen, your opponent is her, and then…” Rhodes revealed a smile, “come and chase after me.”

With that, his footsteps instantly shattered the window, and he leaped out of the house!

In that instant, a ruthless glint flashed in Cang Wen's eyes:

"You go and kill Rhodes, I'll take care of this man!"

"Yes," Kleich nodded in response.

Chapter 68 The Burning Gloss

Boom boom boom—!

The dazzling starlight emanating from the house clashed violently with the eerie purple!

At that very moment, as Rhodes rushed out, the three witches who had been promoted three times also followed him into the flowerbed.

The whistling of the barrier was obvious; the guards of the Duke's mansion were heading towards Lilith and did not sense any energy coming from the flower garden.

This is the most advantageous situation for Rhodes.

He was outnumbered three to one, but he remained completely calm. After all, he had deliberately avoided the guards and the Duke, intending to kill all three of them alone before reaching the flower garden.

[Heavenly Eye] clearly imprinted the data of the three of them in his mind, and he also knew for certain that the strength of these three witches was basically at the upper level after three upgrades.

It's actually a witch with a single attribute around 300.

This level of intensity is enough for him to hone his skills and get into form...

after all--

With a flick of his finger, the two [Linked Scrolls] in his hand instantly burst into flames;

At that very moment, the technique in his mind began to expand and upgrade instantly.

Every neuron's connection was making his consciousness clearer, and his spirit, along with his soul, was sinking into the deep sea, becoming increasingly intense.

At this moment, Rhodes was clearly faced with the choice of which skill to upgrade.

The [Life Dragon Heart] can enhance physical strength and inflict damage with mental penetration.

[Listen to the Dragon's Song of Life] can improve all attributes and provide stronger continuous healing.

【Body of Creation】is also an ability to enhance all attributes, but compared to Dragon Song, it enhances them by a percentage, making it undoubtedly more powerful.

As for the Spirit Dragon Sword and the new skill Creation Clock, needless to say, one can greatly enhance the basic stats of physical strength, and the other can summon even stronger creatures...

Unexpectedly, when all the skill effects are very strong, making a choice becomes a problem.

But Rhodes also understood that he didn't have time to think any further, since as long as he successfully brought Ivina back to the academy, all of his skills could be upgraded.

Therefore, a strange ring-shaped light suddenly condensed in his pupils, and at the same time, a skill upgrade notification appeared—

【创生之躯LV.1→2】：您可以提升单一角色的精神抗性15%→20%、以及全方面属性的15%→25%，身体出现部分精灵化特征。

【生命龙心LV.1→2】：可以共享范围无50→100米内的精神思考，感知30→50米内敌人方位，并且对敌人造成【精神刺痛】→【精神震荡】，且您的心脏会变的极其强悍——体魄提升15→50点、体质与敏捷提升30点（新效果）。

The skill enhancement effect is incredibly powerful.

However, the impressive appearance on the data panel is ultimately just an appearance; only the pure numerical values ​​can truly reflect how much Rhodes' strength has increased.

"The body of creation, the heart of life, listening to the dragon's song of life, the pendulum of creation."

In an instant, he activated four skills.

The moment the skill was activated, the three witches lost their focus and became alert.

"Oh no, he's using the Linked Scroll to enhance his skills! Let's go!" Kleish shouted immediately, drawing her dagger and launching an attack.

When she attacks, she instantly activates her skills [Agile Body] and [Joyful Physique], which increases her speed by a level.

However, Rhodes' skill activation is incredibly fast.

【Creative Pendulum Clock】

Boom boom boom—!

In an instant, two incredibly massive stone figures violently lurched out of the earth!

Their figures directly blocked the two witches behind Kleish.

The "Body of Creation" attributed to Rhodes' body exhibiting some elven-like characteristics.

His pupils became double pupils, and the tips of his ears became slightly longer;

In an instant, a fluorescent green life force flowed through his entire body, making him appear extremely elegant on his handsome face.

At this moment, Rhodes' skill upgrade panel came into view.

[Rhodes]

[Upgrade Level: Three times]

【property】:

Physical Fitness: 144→296

[Agility]: 132 → 202

[Physical Constitution]: 136→205

[Spirit]: 140 → 168

Although the stats are still not as good as the opponent's Kleine, this is enough.

It's hard to believe that in just a few days, Rhodes's status panel has already increased to a fairly impressive value.

This level of strength was already a mainstay in a city like Phillips, which was far removed from the war.

At the [Stassen Academy], students of this caliber are granted special qualifications to study in the capital or become high-ranking officers of noble status.

However, the doubling of almost all values ​​has brought Rhodes's values ​​close to those of Kleish.

The two witches were blocked behind him by his giant stone golem.

Meanwhile, Kleish, carrying a short sword, had already launched a solo attack—

Her petite figure is exactly the physique of a qualified assassin.

Even Rhodes could tell from her hood and tight black leather clothes that her figure and face were those of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

She's only fifteen or sixteen years old and she's already advanced three times... No wonder she's a terrifying being called a [Demon Seed].

But Rhodes would not have any pity for her.
